Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermos cup cleaning, and in particular to a cup inner cleaning machine with a drying effect. Background Technology
[0002] The deep-drawing process for the inner liner of the thermos requires the use of deep-drawing oil to prevent the product from cracking or being damaged. This results in a film of deep-drawing grease covering both the inner and outer surfaces of the product. This grease film must be removed before proceeding to the next process, necessitating cleaning of the thermos. However, it is not possible to effectively dry the inner liner after cleaning. Most cleaning equipment requires additional drying of the inner liner after cleaning, which increases labor costs.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN202220207196.1 discloses a fully automatic cup inner liner cleaning device, including a conveyor table with a cavity arranged along its length. The conveyor belt of the conveyor table has multiple through holes, and a water collection tank is arranged along its length in the cavity. At least two baffles are arranged at intervals above the conveyor belt along its length. Each baffle has a side plate that bends towards the side end of the conveyor belt on opposite sides. The bottom of each side plate is detachably connected to the conveyor table. A spray gun that sprays upwards is located in the cavity below each baffle. Each spray gun is connected to a water tank through a water inlet pipe. The drain outlet of the water collection tank is connected to the water tank through a drain pipe. A water pump is connected to the water inlet pipe. The device also includes a controller and a photoelectric sensor installed on the inner plate of the baffle. The photoelectric sensor and the spray gun are on the same longitudinal axis. This device does not have the function of drying the cup inner liner after cleaning.
[0004] The applicant previously applied for a cup inner liner cleaning machine, but it did not dry the inner liner of the thermos after cleaning, and the moisture inside the inner liner was not treated. To address this problem, we have developed a new device: a cup inner liner cleaning machine with a drying effect. Summary of the Invention
